At the Oscars, Lily Gladstone rocked the red carpet in a breathtaking custom Gucci gown, paying homage to her Blackfeet roots in style.

Her midnight blue velvet dress, crafted in collaboration with Indigenous designer Joe Big Mountain of Ironhorse Quillwork, captivated audiences and showcased her Native American culture.

Making history as the first Native American woman nominated for Best Actress, Gladstone’s powerful presence radiated pride as she represented the Siksikaitsitapi and NiMíiPuu communities.

But the glam didn’t stop there! For the Vanity Fair after-party, Gladstone dazzled in yet another Gucci creation, this time adorned with intricate quillwork and layered detailing reminiscent of a flapper-style ensemble.

From the red carpet to the after-party, Gladstone’s Gucci gowns stole the show, blending tradition with haute couture in a mesmerizing celebration of heritage and style.
